Favorite 2020 LPs
Not the best year for me in terms of music releases, however, I found some awesome new artists and many others released solid albums. Fewer LPs blew me away compared to previous years though. The biggest revelation for me this year was discovering Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. The first 25 were carefully arranged for the staff top, the next 25 are records I listened to multiple time and still have them in rotation. From 50 onwards are releases that are good/worth spending your time on them IMO. |
1 | | Two People Second Body
Love this album, spent a lot of time listening to it. |
2 | | Motorpsycho The All Is One
One of their best albums and easy to sit through its' 85-minute length. |
3 | | Moby All Visible Objects
I enjoy his albums no matter what the direction is. Also read his two memoirs, they are very nicely and honestly written. |
4 | | Marilyn Manson We Are Chaos
Was skeptical at first about it, but this grew on me a lot. It's a beautiful surprise and I hope he does another LP with Shooter Jennings just to see how far can they go with their chemistry. |
5 | | Boris NO
Boris delivers as always. |
6 | | Brant Bjork Brant Bjork
Same with Brant, he always delivers the groove. |
7 | | The Atomic Bitchwax Scorpio
Lots of fun. |
8 | | Paradise Lost Obsidian
Lovely record. |
9 | | Intronaut Fluid Existential Inversions
The production could have been better overall, but it's a strong album. |
10 | | Deftones Ohms
This album is excellent, but I feel there is still room to grow on me. So far, I find Gore a bit more entertaining than this one, contrary to popular belief. |
